Important Training Update

"This is Scouting" was recently added to the BSA's on-line Learning Center. "This is Scouting" replaces New Leader Essentials as a required course for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing volunteers to earn the "Trained" leader emblem. This can be accessed by going to http://MyScouting.org.

While the primary delivery method for "This is Scouting" is on-line, a DVD . No. 36118 will be available after April 1 from Supply for areas where internet access is limited or where group presentation is desired.

All Scouters are encouraged to create a MyScouting account and access this training through the MyScouting portal, as credit for this training will be recorded on their PAS record upon completion.

Note: you do not have to take the replacement class if you've already had New Leader Essentials.

This online resource for training should aid you in getting more of your adults trained.


Green River District Klondike Derby

The Green River District held its annual Klondike Derby at Ensign Ranch near Cle Elum on January 17th. We had a big turnout; it was the biggest Klondike Derby in recent memory with over 400 Scouts in attendance.
